The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) announced their intention to engage in coalition talks aimed at establishing a minority government. In a joint statement, both parties committed to close cooperation on parliamentary matters, emphasizing a unified voting stance in the Saxon Parliament. Importantly, the negotiation document explicitly rejects any collaboration with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), distancing the parties from right-wing extremism in the wake of recent controversial meetings.
